Do you really think the Republicans would do any better?History tells us that one party rule does not work.
The Reps were in complete control and got us in two money pit wars and the snowball started down hill. The Dems got complete control and all they did was to kick the snowball down hill faster. Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming the Reps for the mess the country is in, but they didn't do anything to try to stop it when they had the chance and neither did the Dems.

No, the best thing that can happen this next election is to split Congress and the Senate as close to 50/50 as we can get them. They would either have to stop whining and work together or nothing will get done, either way it's a win/win for the country.

We need the check & balance a 50/50 split will provide.

I understand what your saying but this is not the same country we were years ago, and the TP brought attention to that. We did not have the debt problem as we do now with 14.5 trillion in debt and will sore to 16 trillion by 2012.

We have a debt problem and thus far it is only the Republicans that want to cut the debt. The Democrats only want to continue to borrow and spend. Further Obama threw in the trash his debt commissions report. Obama, Pelosi and Reid have no intention of cutting anything. They have to go, as we need real cuts as Ryan has submitted. The Democrats will fight like hell to keep their borrow and spend entitlements with absolutely no concern of our rising debt.
